The property is the winner of this year’s Prix Versailles award, a designation presented by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Union of Architects to the structures that have the most remarkable interior and exterior architecture.

Spread across 750 acres of the Yucatán Peninsula, the hotel’s design pays homage to its surroundings, combining traditional Mexican elements with modern touches to add a luxurious feel while immersing you in nature.

Stone walls and tropical gardens welcome you to the hotel's 38 casitas and two expansive villas.

"True luxury is about preserving the soul of an incredible destination, so when Chablé was conceived, it was important to continue telling the story of this ancient hacienda through its unique architecture and design elements," Rocco Bova, the hotel’s general manager, said in a press release. "The final product offers guests a truly balanced and harmonious retreat that honors Mayan traditions without sacrificing the global standards for luxury."

This theme continues throughout its spa, which sits inside a cenote (a natural sinkhole) to offer a truly unique setting.

When it comes to food, the property’s focus is on serving organic and seasonal cuisine, most of which is sourced from their on-site Maya Gardens, which use traditional Mayan methods that guests are invited to learn.

You can enjoy homemade staples like Yucatán honey, freshly baked breads, sweet jams, and even homemade butter in citrus and hazelnut flavors.
